Combining Sea and Coastal Planning in Europe (C-SCOPE) is a European collaboration between the Dorset Coast Forum (DCF) and The Coordination Centre on Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Belgium, funded by the EU Interreg IV A 'Two Seas' programme. Its main aim was to achieve an integrated approach to land and sea planning and management. Both partners focused on three elements which link together to provide a comprehensive plan and information resource to underpin sustainable coastal management:
- Developing a framework for integrating terrestrial and marine planning;
- Tools for achieving sustainable coastal economies and environments; and
- Achieving commitment to Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) through stakeholder engagement.
